The final project must be carefully typed,
but diagrams may be hand-drawn.

At all times have a paper copy you can hand-in; I do
NOT accept
electronic versions.
Print out a copy each day, so that you always have the latest version to
hand-in; this, in case your printer or computer fails.

Comments about the highly-anticipated
(Monday, 31Oct.)Class-C (pdf)
ranged from
Lots better than getting hit by a truck!
to
Somewhat better than getting hit by a truck!

The highly-anticipated and outrageously cheerful
Class-B (pdf)
entranced the cognoscenti with its clever use of rotation matrices,
delighting Linear aficionados with
mini-questions exploring linearly-independent sets.

Spontaneous cries of “Encore!”
and “Author! Author!”
were heard echoing about the hall.
Critics effused over the exam's clean lines and minimalistic
two-tone format. A Smash Hit!, was the
consensus...

This demo page
illustrates these linear transformations:
Dilations, Rotations and Shears.
It also shows the affine transformation of Translation.

We'll learn the Euclidean algorithm
in the form of the Lightning bolt algorithm(LBolt).

Please peruse the Wikipedia pages that define
Group, Ring, Field
as well as Set builder notation.

In all of my courses,
attendance is absolutely required
(excepting illness and religious holidays).
In the unfortunate event that you miss a class, you are
responsible to get all
Notes / Announcements / TheWholeNineYards
from a classmate, or several.
All my classes have a
substantial
class-participation grade.

General Info

Our LinA class has a LISTSERV archive. I will email to each
student how to post-to and read-from the Archive.
(The archive is at a private URL, only for the use of the folks
in our class.)

Our Lina syllabus
has the first homework and reading assignment.
It also mentions Class photo Day.
